ď........We donít pass rush, pass cover, stop the run, stop the pass. We donít tackle and play with enough effort.Ē

Zim pretty much nailed it. I trust him to change it up, with a better defensive showing Sunday in DC. Can they play worse ?_________________" Democracy is a system where two idiots can out-vote a genius..........."

I think the new (and hopefully improved) starting lineup will look like this:

Geathers - Atkins - Peko - Dunlap

Vincent Rey - Burfict - Lawson

Hall - Miles - Nelson - Clements

I'm sure we'll talk more about this in the Redskin Gameday thread, but I reckon we'll be playing alot of nickel against RGIII, with a 'spy' to watch for his runs. Maybe Mays plays nickel, with only 2 x LB's.....

Zim is going to have to mix it up to try and confuse the rookie a little._________________" Democracy is a system where two idiots can out-vote a genius..........."

As he should be. We're the 30th ranked defense right now. We have given up 71 points in 2 games. Our defense has been a joke and he has every right to bench some people. Our effort on tackling has been bad as well_________________

I hope you're just messing me. How can everyone not see that Geathers is the problem? Browns fans are talking about how great their rookie RT looked against us. Pat Sims would be able to apply more pressure on the QB from the LDE position than Geathers...

Let's not go crazy now. Sims wouldnt make it to the QB from DE. Too long a run. I'd love to see Still give it a go.

Ideally, but it won't happen this season. You do bring up a good point about Adam Jones being a starting corner. He definitely needs more playing time. Honestly I think he's been our best corner so far this season. Probably because everyone else has looked like crap.

Well, that's fine. But it doesn't really matter. With only 3 healthy DE's on the roster, Geathers is going to play.

And i retract my Clements starting thing. I agree it should be Jones. Clements can play the role of nickle corner/safety (which still sees significant snaps)._________________If you're not in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?

I really don't like our linebackers. They all are terrible in pass defense and frankly not much better in run d. Id trust Mays to cover tackle over any LB at this point. Iloka would give us interesting matchups as well

Gives us a good pass rush on the DLINE as well

Obviously none of this will happen

I really wish Iloka was healthy. I think he could provide a spark to our secondary. Long arms that can be ideal for covering TE's.

Also I didn't want to point it out the first time, but why do you want Atkins to go on a low carb diet?

teams already run on us out of nickel packages. Not only have 1 DT and 0 LB's and they wouldnt stop.
